Fictional Characters of New York — #6

On the night before my wedding, my soon-to-be father-in-law, a conservative businessman from a prominent family in Seoul, took me out to a private bar to give me some marital advice.

“If you want a happy woman, you don’t bring your work back home with you,” he said.

“I’m still joining the force.  Here in New York.  It’s what I want to do,” I replied.

And my father-in-law hasn’t spoken to me since.
